400 REVISION OF HOMOHADENA — SMITH. 



wanling. A row of small terminal lunules; veins more or less evi- 

 dently black marked. Ordinary spots wanting. Secondaries smoky 

 outwardly, paler basally, with a variably distinct discal dot. Beneath 

 primaries dark smoky fuscous, paler toward inner margin. Secondaries 

 whitish powdery, most evidently so along costal and apical region. A 

 row of outer venular dots; a discal Innule. 



Expands 1.25 to 1.36 inches=31 to 34 millimetres. 



Habitat. — Texas. 



An easily recognized species, distinguished by its lack of markings. 

 It varies very little, principally in depth of ground color and in the 

 presence or absence of the venular points. The species is common ; yet 

 unfortunately, of the numerous specimens in the accessible collections 

 there was but a single male in which I could fully examine the 

 genitalia. The harpes, however, are very like those of hadistriya, except 

 that they lack the heavy corneous spine at upper angle of tip. 



Homohadena picina Grt. 

 1880, Grt. Can. Ent., xii, '257, Homohadena. 



" Thorax and primaries unicolorous, dusky fuscous; the median lines 

 indicated by venular dots, incomplete; the posterior line not as flexed 

 as usual; fringes concolorous. Hind wings whitish at base, washed 

 with fuscous exteriorly, the veins soiled ; faint traces of a mesial line. 

 Beneath the secondaries are paler, with a distinct dotted line. Eyes 

 naked ; body untufted ; tibiie unarmed. A stout, obscurely colored 

 and simply marked form." 



Expands 40 millimetres. 



Habitat.— California; Mr. Hy. Edwards, No. 7174. 



This must be a rather close relation to that form of fortis which was 

 named vorax by Dr. Behrens, though Mr. Grote would scarcely have 

 called the eyes naked, and he says positively "tibiae unarmed." 



Homohadena inconstans Grt. 

 1883 Grt. Can. Ent., xv, 28, Homohadena. 



"Male and female. An obscure fuscous gray species with naked, 

 lashed eyes ; third palpal joint small, female ovipositor visible. Size 

 and appearance of indnta, but with the look of an Agrotis belonging 

 to the silens or lagena group. Transverse lines all lost; stigmata 

 wanting. In the female the veins are marked with black, the median 

 vein most decidedly so. In the male there are no marks. The head is 

 smoky and the collar paler. Hind wings fuscous, paler at base, and 

 j)aler in the male ; the veins soiled. Beneath pale and without mark- 

 ings; there is a faint indication of a common line which appears dotted 

 on hind wings of female." 



Habitat. — Arizona (Neumoegen). 



Unknown to me in nature.
